The Tower card is a toppling pagoda. Love it. One of the signatures of Der Jen is her romantic, realistic, and beautiful depictions of Asian women. It was a subject matter she loved to work on and did masterfully. It’s what she became known for. You can see it in many of the cards above from the third septenary of the Major Arcana, and also in the courts.
Above you’ll see the courts for the passive suits, Chalices (or Cups) and Pentacles. The China Tarot has some of the most beautiful Knaves and Queens I’ve yet to see in a tarot deck. |
